Good News! The Roof is done and we just restored and refinished the hardwood floors on the main floor of Cedar Rose Inn. They are both beautiful! And to celebrate, we are offering a FREE bottle of Wine during the months of February and March to any guests coming to our inn! Besides, it is a very special because, the wine is made exclusively from our 2011 Vintage grapes at Cedar Rose Wild Vineyards. Carlos Creek Winery made a special exclusive White Marquette from our grapes this year and have just bottled and released it for enjoyment. Our white wines from our own cellar are also ready and we think they are very special also. Come and celebrate!

Momma Roberta left so you could get a peak of our naked bodies. Our mouths are big for a reason….so we can eat some of those delicious morsels that mom brings us from the Cedar Rose Inn compound. We plan to leave as soon as we get our wings or the innkeeper kicks us out. Before that happens, come and enjoy a little close-up birdwatching before breakfast or an evening of relaxation on the porch swing.

U-Haul announced Friday, the release of it’s latest new supergraphic, and to our surprize, it is all about the Kensington Runestone. The huge image of the stone and Viking ship will be displayed on 2300 new U-Haul vans traveling the US and challenges viewers to learn more about this mysterious discovery that occurred in the Alexandria area. The stone is housed at our wonderful Runestone Museum just a few blocks from the Cedar Rose Inn. Come and join in the festivities on Memorial Day weekend as U-Haul unveils it’s latest version at the “Awake the Lakes Annual Breakfast” at the museum on Saturday morning. Enjoy this real treasure of Minnesota right here in our hometown!

We have seen a dramatic increase in traffic in Alexandria this summer–no traffic jams though! So why are people coming to Alexandria Minnesota? In questioning our guests at Cedar Rose Inn, we find that many people have converted their yearly travel plans to short , local discovery, road trips to outer Minnesota and are loving it. Not only are they relaxing, but also educational, fun and low cost. So check it out! There are many interesting events, tours, and just plain great escapes just waiting for you. And while you’re at it, come stay with us and maybe take the tour of our vineyards and see the beautiful color change (called verasion) that has just begun which signals the first signs of autumn harvest just around the corner.

“The Norwegians are coming! The Norwegians are coming!” ” I thought they were already here in 1362! But the Viking Explorers that left our beloved Runestone in this area are maybe not related to the Norwegian Marching Band that is coming on Sunday to march on Main Street. Twenty-two High School Bands join in the fun for the Annual Vikingland Band Festival. Top-notch bands and top-notch entertainment. for any of you who can attend. Admission is free but bring a lawn chair and come early!

“This was my first time at a B&B and it was totally fantastic! The rooms, decor, history was wonderful & interesting. I commented on the cleanliness, great food and our hosts Florian and Aggie couldn’t have done anything more to make us feel comfortable and wanted — they just glow with pride & love!”— Guest, 2008.Review from BedAndBreakfast.com
